Connect to my 10.6 mail server from an android tablet

I have an Samsumg Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (Android 4.0.1) tablet and I need to set up my email for my business on it. I have it set up fine on my iPhone and iPad and desktop (Mac and Windows both), but when I try to set it up on my Android tablet it either says the username or password is incorrect (I am positive it is not) or it cannot contact the server. I've about pulled my hair out trying to figure out which setting is messing things up, but on the tablet the choices are few, so I'm about at a loss. The only thing I can think of is that there is no option on the Android to use MD5 challenge/response for authentication. If that were it, why would it say "Incorrect username or password"?
I know this isn't an Android forum, but it IS an Apple email server. Any peculiarities I might be overlooking might be the problem, so that is why I ask here.

There is nothing unique, special or weird going on here, there is only the usual slog of figuring out what an individual mail client requires and offers, and what the mail server provides and can offer, and aligning the two within your local expectations and needs.
OS X Server uses standard Unix mail server tools.  Postfix and Dovecot.  And again, there is nothing special, weird, or unique here.
Check your mail server logs for details around the connection failure.  Assuming you see the connection error arriving, of course, and that's a clue in itself.  You'll want and need to look at both the IMAP or POP logs, and the SMTP logs.
The usual triggers are the firewall settings, the particular required ports for your mail server configuration, whether SSL is used or not, and possibly the encoding of the credentials.
Check with the Android client settings, with the Android documentation, and possibly then with an Android forum around what your particular client requires, when connecting with Postfix and Dovecot tools.  (These are standard Unix tools, so I'd expect there are Android-specific discussions around the network.  Here's one discussion, though the trigger for what that Android user encountered is probably a firewall block against outbound TCP port 25 connections from random boxes — boxes that are not known mail servers — that is increasingly implemented around the 'net.)
And FWIW, OS X Server 10.6 has a layer of management tools atop Postfix with Server Admin key among these, and I'd manage via those first and not via the direct postfix commands.  But the lower-level postfix commands do work on OS X Server, if you're looking around.  In other words, read-only, don't use the lower-level Postfix tools to make changes, unless Server Admin et al don't allow you access to the setting.

    It was working fine till yesterday, suddenly it stopped. I have 3 email accounts configured here, 2 are on exchange servers and one yahoo. Connection verification works and shows all servers as green.
    Any inputs?

    I had 3 accounts, 2 ms exchange accounts and 1 yahoo. After removal of yahoo, everything is back to normal.

  • How can I find out the mail server from email address?

    Hi:
    How can I find out the mail server from email address?
    for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
    how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
    THANK YOU

    You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
    The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

  • How do I Change my cox incoming mail server from pop to imap

    I Have a macbook pro with OS X Yosemite.  I want to change the incoming cox mail server from pop to imap.  I did it on my ipad and iphone but I can't do it on the mac pro.  Do I need to delete the existing account and do it as a new account or can I edit the server?

    It depends on what Cox has set up. Usually, you need to create a new account using IMAP. You don't want to delete the POP accounts because all your old mail is stored on your computer. You'll want to import that using Mail's Import option.

  • I have a problem connecting to my company exchange 2007 server from my IPAD2 the same settings worked with the IPAD1

    Hi All
    Can anybody help with this problem when trying to authenticate on the Microsoft Exchange Sever.
    I have been trying to connect the mail client on the IPAD2 to my company email (Exchange 2007 server)
    There appears to be an issue with the SSL settings for the IPAD 2 and Apples new OS
    I know that it’s not supported but I also know that the previous version of the IPAD worked fine using the same settings.
    Just to confirm I can access the email via Safari therefore I know that the Public Key is loaded in the web browser.
    Can anyone confirm that the Public Key has been installed on the IPAD 2 email client?
    Is there anyway to edit the SSL settings?
    Thanks in advance fro your help
    Regards
    Pat

    Try using Static IP and force a connection.
    You can get the settings from your other devices that are connected to the router.

  • "Unable to establish a connection between WebEx and the mail server."

    Hi,
    I installed Cisco WebEx and integrated with our Microsoft exchange server.  It showed server "UP".  everything's came up and working fine after that and sudenlly i found this message "Unable to establish a connection with the mail server.  Please recheck settings."
    I went into the Mail Server setup to edit settings and now, it shows Server Down.  Do I need to do something on the MS Exchange 2010 or from webex server ??
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks a lot!

    Every 180 seconds, CWMS verifies the connection to the SMTP server by establishing a connection on TCP port 25 (SMTP) and then sending the EHLO command followed by the QUIT command. This check is also performed once when logging into the admin web page or when browsing to System -> Servers (where the status of the mail server is displayed).
    If  this sequence does not complete successfully, the warning “Unable to  establish a connection with the mail server. Please recheck settings.”  will show in a banner at the top of the CWMS admin pages.
    You  can verify the connection to the SMTP server manually by using “telnet  25”.
    If you have access to the CWMS unix shell be aware that CWMS does not come  with the telnet command installed.
    As an alternative, you can use this 3-lines script:
    exec 3<>/dev/tcp/x.x.x.x/25
    echo -e "EHLO\r\nQUIT\r\n " >&3
    cat <&3
    Replace x.x.x.x by the ip address or hostname of the SMTP server and save the script in a file, f.e.:
    /* script saved in a file named ehlo */
    [root@dchriste-cwms-adm1 ~]# cat ./ehlo
    exec 3<>/dev/tcp/10.48.54.79/25
    echo -e "EHLO\r\nQUIT\r\n " >&3
    cat <&3
    Then, execute it:
    [root@dchriste-cwms-adm1 ~]# sh ./ehlo
    The output should be similar to this:
    220 *******************************************************************************************************************

    250 OK221 2.0.0 confukdc.confuk.com Service closing transmission channel
    Also, you can use this tcpdump command to see the conversation (replace x.x.x.x by the SMTP server’s IP address or hostname):
    tcpdump -vXs 0 host x.x.x.x and tcp port 25
    If you have HA, it is not certain which admin VM talks to the smtp server, so best to check both.
    If you don't have access to the CWMS unix shell, best to span the switch ports and run packet capture.

  • Where can i download a mail server from

    Hi
    I'm trying to create a mail tool. my workplace uses lotus notes so i'm presuming thats why it doesn't work at the moment - i need a SMTP server. i get error messages of ..
    "MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: xxxxx"
    "ConnectException: Connection refused: connect"
    Am i correct in thinking this is the reason?
    So, can anyone recommend where i can download an SMTP server from ?
    Thanks
    joj

    Before you rush off to install an SMTP server, I would suggest you talk to the people who support Notes at your place. It may already have an SMTP server but you don't know where it is. They may also frown upon you installing a rogue server on their network -- although you may not do much harm unless you actually manage to get its address registered in your corporate DNS so it's visible from the Internet.

  • Difficulty in connecting Office Outlook (2003) to mail server

    I have two computers at home, a desktop operating Windows XP linked to the router via an ethernet cable and a laptop operating Vista, linked through WiFi, two hotmail accounts, one .com and the other .co.uk. The
    desktop uses Office Outlook 2003), the laptop Windows Live Mail. On the same day about 3 weeks ago both computers failed to 'sign in' to the mail accounts. There was no new software uploaded at the time on either. There is no problem with internet access and
    I can access both e-mail accounts via the browsers from both machines, so the usernames and passwords are correct. I have email contact, but using Office Outlook and Live Mail are a lot more convenient than 'Outlook.com' in the browser.
    I have tried powering down the router and after a while (8 hours!) powering it up again - no change. I have contacted the broadband provider and they told me what outgoing mail server to specify and what the port
    number should be, but I can't find anywhere to enter these. When I look for the connections I get taken to the Outlook.com page but that is no help, there is no obvious place for the connections to be specified. What do I do next?
    In Office Outlook the tech person advised entering the following.
    Outgoing mail server: SMTP.talktalk.net, port 587, Authentication - yes
    When I go to 'Outlook Connector', then 'settings', then 'Mail Options', the computer takes me to https://dub125.mail.live.com/mail/options.aspx
    and there seems to be no place to enter the name of the server. I can't find any other place for 'settings' in Office Outlook.
    In Windows Live Mail I can find the mail accounts and it tells me that they are on an HTTP server with the URL: http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspx
    I hesitate to replace this with the mail server given above, because I am not really sure what I am doing.

    Hi,
    From your description, OWA works well, the issue should be related to Outlook side. Actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Microsoft Office which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. Since Outlook 2003 is old
    Outlook version, we have not supported for it. It is recommended to upgrade to a later version of Outlook. Your understanding will be appreciated.
    For your convenience:

  • Outlook 2007 - Outgoing mail server from a 3rd party

    I tried to set up the outgoing mail server for my Outlook 2007 with a 3rd party mail server. e.g. mail.xxxx.com, and I could not send the e-mail at all. If I set up the  outgoing mail server as outgoing.verizon.net, I can send the email to everyone else but not to this 3rd party mail server mail.xxxx.com. I received the undeliverable message from Verizon that the mail was rejected due to not being able to log on to this 3r party mail server. I am working for this company from home and it requires me to set up this for my outgoing mail server. Does anyone know how to fix this, including specifying what needs to be done at the 3rd party mail server to change to accept emails sent from outgoing.verizon.net? Thank you in advance. Andy

    Port 25 is the standard for SMTP, although some now use a submission port, 587. I know port 25 off network is blocked for residential users, I don't know if 587 is blocked off network because I have never tried it. I suspect it is. Verizon is by no means the only ISP to do this.
    Business accounts do not have blocked ports as far as I know, so if you have a business account, you are free to communicate using port 25 anywhere.
    Verizon has recently gone to non-standard port assignments for SMTP and POP servers. see

  • Creating a mail server from an SMTP feed

    Currently, we are unsatisfied with our mail provider - mostly due to delayed mail receipt. After speaking to our ISP they advised us that we could set up our own mail server and they could stream SMTP to us, avoiding POP3.
    Although I administer the server and the network I have no experience of mail servers and have a few questions. I would have searched the forum but I don't really know which terms to search.
    I would very much appreciate a fairly full explanation and nothing too vague please.
    1. Is this easy to set up without additional hardware/software - is it built-in to OSX Server? What is it called and is it only accessed through CLI? Is there a good GUI alternative?
    2. What hardware/software would you recommend for a facility handling about 200-300 emails per day, most with attachments of around 1Mb? It is not unusual to exceed 1Gb of email bandwidth in a working day.
    3. What problems/shortfalls do I need to be aware of? Fequent crashes, database rebuilding, common address books, support, missing/undelivered/undeliverable mail, client set-up, etc
    4. How will our email change, both sending and receiving? Will we or our recipients notice any sort of change?
    Thank you in advance. Please feel free to ask any questions.

    Currently, we are unsatisfied with our mail provider
    - mostly due to delayed mail receipt. After speaking
    to our ISP they advised us that we could set up our
    own mail server and they could stream SMTP to us,
    avoiding POP3.
    Although I administer the server and the network I
    have no experience of mail servers and have a few
    questions. I would have searched the forum but I
    don't really know which terms to search.
    I would very much appreciate a fairly full
    explanation and nothing too vague please.
    1. Is this easy to set up without additional
    hardware/software - is it built-in to OSX Server?
    What is it called and is it only accessed through
    CLI? Is there a good GUI alternative?
    Sorry for the 'vague' answer but it's called "Mail" in Server Admin app - presumably the application you are using to administer your server? You can find documentation on it in the Mail Service section here...
    http://www.apple.com/support/macosxserver/index.html
    Apple docs are not everyones cup of tea but they are the starting point.
    There are also other 3rd party mail server apps you can run in place of the built-in one.
    2. What hardware/software would you recommend for a
    facility handling about 200-300 emails per day, most
    with attachments of around 1Mb? It is not unusual to
    exceed 1Gb of email bandwidth in a working day.
    A G4 could do that easily - depending (of course) on what else it is doing.
    3. What problems/shortfalls do I need to be aware of?
    Fequent crashes, database rebuilding, common address
    books, support, missing/undelivered/undeliverable
    mail, client set-up, etc
    It just runs fine. Any time I have had problems it is because I have 'fiddled', but it is still a bit of software and you therefore become responsible for it (rather than your ISP/mail provider). "Common address books" is not a function of the OS X mail server. The mail logs are there for tracking whether "missing" mail was actually sent/delivered. Client set up is just as per usual requirements except you point clients to your server rather than ISP's.
    4. How will our email change, both sending and
    receiving? Will we or our recipients notice any sort
    of change?
    Sending from within the same LAN as your server appears a lot faster to people on the LAN since the transfer to the server is within LAN rather than out to internet. The server then sends out to internet.
    Apologies again for the possibly not "full" answers but if I did that I would end up writing a manual

    In my case, my home ISP blocks port 25 so I need to pass mac.com mail through the ISP. Then, when at work, my home ISP won't accept SMTP from my work address so I end up using mail.mac.com directly. I'd like the switch to occur based on my changing of the 'Network Location'

  • Problems connecting to iChat 4 on the server from a computer using iChat 3.

    Is this possible? I am an intern at my school and I am facing this problem. What is happening is we are testing the Leopard server on new iMac 20" and we set up an iChat server. We can log onto the iChat server from the server iMac. But when we attempt to access the 10.5 server from our computers using Tiger (10.4.10), it says that we can not connect to the server. We are using the same user name and config as on the 10.5 server Any ideas?
    This is the error message I receive when I attempt to connect to the iChat 4 10.5 server from a computer using Tiger (10.4.10):
    Could not connect to host "server name here"
    We currently have another iChat server set up on a server using Tiger and set up the 10.5 iChat server in the same way, yet it still will not work.

    I too ran into the problem of iChat on 10.4.x, along with Adium, not succeeding at connecting to the Jabber process on MOSXS v.10.5.1, but simply editing the /etc/jabberd/c2s.xml file to comment out the "gssapi" authentication fixed it up swell. In our case, Active Directory isn't an issue since we're an all-Mac shop.
    Here's the relevant section excerpted from the file:
